"They were on time and installed the handrails and shower grab bars. I should have gotten a written estimate as they charged $50.00 more than quoted."

"Enrique and his team tackled a number of small to medium size projects from painting to door frame repair to drywall removal and replacement. The team was on time each day and ensured that the days task list was completed before leaving for the day. They ensured the work areas were organized and cleaned after each day. They were professional, easy to work with and their pricing was competitive. Would highly recommend them for any general construction or handyman projects you have."

Customers say: Quick response

"It was not long before I recognized i hired an excellent craftsman. Spending 7 years in the trades after completing a carpenter apprenticeship my eyes were trained to assess attention to detail . Mauricio work is impeccable . From his prompt arrival in the morning to his end of day clean I found Mauricio friendly courteous and professional. His insight ideas and collaboration resulted in an excellent end product . My wife and I could not be happier . We were lucky to find him and so thrilled with his work instantly retained his services for 3 more projects. Mauricio has turned our home into a masterpiece- the only negative will be my disappointment when his work is complete, ill miss his welcoming smile ."

"John sent Ross right away to put an emergency shower repair. The job was done quickly and very clean. I am very happy with the outcome with Bay Builders Inc. After 3 years the repair has held up very well."

"Jim was extremely professional and his communication was excellent. He walked me through the process and gave me options. Jim amd his team gave me 5 star service on the 2,840 sq ft house they built for me. From the floors to the doors Jim helped me pick out everything came out great. I am so glad he was recommended to me by my neighbor Jared."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.

No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.

Proper Murphy bed installation minimizes the risk of wall damage. A secure attachment requires making some holes for anchors or brackets, but these can be easily patched if the bed is removed. To ensure the installation is done correctly and safely, hiring a professional is recommended, especially if you have limited DIY experience.

Using a steel frame may raise the value of your home. Steel is more heat resistant, has better longevity, and doesn’t need any upkeep compared to traditional wood. You can also customize a steel build a little easier than other materials like brick, concrete, and vinyl—which have trouble bending and adapting to renovations.
